Coffee poured from a clay jebena during a traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony

The coffee ceremony, every Friday.

Green beans roasted in front of you, ground, and brewed in a clay jebena, then poured in three rounds. Come for the coffee and stay for the conversation.

  1. Abol

    The first pour, and the strongest.

  2. Tona

    The second, a little lighter.

  3. Bereka

    The last pour. Bereka means blessing.

Reserve a seat Fridays, 6 to 8 pm. What to expect
